Give future veterans a fighting chance. Be remembered for your support of Bay Area veterans.
A legacy gift can serve both your personal financial and estate planning goals while sustaining Swords to Plowshares' lasting impact in the lives of Bay Area veterans now and for years to come. Your generosity and thoughtful support are integral in safeguarding the enduring financial stability of our mission.
These are some of the simple ways to create the legacy you wish to leave:
Making a gift in your will or living trust allows you continued access to your wealth. Your gift may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after all other provisions are specified.
One of the simplest ways to make a legacy gift to Swords to Plowshares is to add Swords to Plowshares as the beneficiary of your investment account, retirement account, donor advised fund, or life insurance, so that your assets at the end of your lifetime will give life and hope to veterans in need.
If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a gift to Swords to Plowshares directly from your IRA without having to pay income taxes on the money.
A couple of our most passionate supporters, Jon and Dianne Paulson, have already pledged their support and are encouraging other friends of Swords to Plowshares to join the Veterans Legacy Circle.
